Cherokee Village AR woods, but very well could be those at Fairfield Glade TN
sleeveless in summer
the skin on my upper arms
really my mother's
~~~
After
3-digit days,
the welcome cold front drops
the early morning temps to the
sixties!
~~~
when does a sapling
become a tree and a creek
become a river?
~~~
bare upper branches
along the wooded roadsides
makes me wonder
~~~
child's question: more trees
or more people? Tennessee
gives trees an edge
~~~
spiky trunks
bared by an earlier storm~
green fields of milo
~~~
a patch of brown leaves
on the tree's small branches
its first summer
